Mito, the prefectural capital, was home to the Mito clan during the Edo period; today it has Kairakuen Garden and the Museum of Modern Art, Ibaraki. Tsukuba in the south is joined to Akihabara by the Tsukuba Express and is home to the Tsukuba Space Center. Each venue page gives the venue's address, so check it there before you set out.
By rail from Tokyo, the prefecture's tourism site points to the Joban Line's Hitachi and Tokiwa limited expresses: about 50 minutes to Tsuchiura, 1 hour 15 minutes to Mito and 1 hour 30 minutes to Hitachi. Tsukuba is about 45 minutes from Akihabara on the Tsukuba Express rapid, and Koga in the west about an hour on the Utsunomiya Line rapid.
Ibaraki is split into five parts: Mito/Hitachinaka (Mito, Hitachinaka / Surrounding Area), Tsuchiura/Tsukuba/Surrounding Area (Tsukuba, Tsuchiura), Koga/Chikusei Area (Toride, Chikusei, Furukawa), Hitachi/Surrounding Area (Hitachi), and Kamisu and Kashima (Kashima, Kamisu).
Ibaraki is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
